The Eiffel Scholarships were established to enable French higher educational institutions to attract outstanding foreign students interested in Masters and PhD courses.

The areas of study covered by the Eiffel scholarships include: engineering sciences at Master level, sciences in a broader sense for PhD level (engineering sciences, exact sciences such as mathematics, physics, chemistry and life sciences, Nano- and biotechnology, earth and environmental sciences and information and communication sciences and technology), economics and management and law and political science.

Eiffel scholarship holders receive a monthly grant allowance of €1,181 (at the current applicable rate). In addition, the program covers various expenses including return travel, health insurance, and cultural activities. Scholarship holders also benefit from an additional accommodation allowance.

These great scholarships help to shape future foreign decision-makers in the public and private sector.

These scholarships were established by the Ministry of Education of P.R. China to provide both full scholarships and partial scholarships to international students and scholars for study and research in Chinese Universities.

The academic programs that fall under this scholarship include science, engineering, agriculture, medicine, economics, education, legal studies and many others.

Make sure to check that your country is eligible and take note of the number of scholarships allotted in its quota.

Finnish polytechnics and universities do not charge any tuition fees in their Bachelor’s and Master’s programs, and Doctoral level studies.

Finnish higher education institutions are small enough to operate functionally and effectively. They are all internationally oriented with special regional features, and you can choose between very different study environments ranging from larger urban campuses to close-to-nature campuses.

For an international student, Finland is both an exotic and a safe target country. Finnish society is networked and transparent, where education is always a top first priority

An excellent example of a Finnish institution is the University of Oulu, which targets academically talented international students. Students enrolled in this university for the 2-year International Master’s Programme receive a 100% tuition fee waiver, among other benefits.
